I’m not talking about your partners in the bedroom, I’m talking about random people in random places who exhibit signs of sexual arousal.
I have a group of friends who get together to watch anime once a week. One week we deviated from anime and watched a racy movie. At the beginning, I did not know it was going to be racy. No one told me. There was a scene where this couple was having rough sex. The woman was on top. The intercourse was so aggressive that her grapefruit-sized breasts shook violently like Japanese paper lanterns in a springtime storm. I was not prepared for that. Suddenly Lil Richie turned into Big Rick. I quickly grabbed the White Castle bag sitting next to me, and threw it over my lap. My body tensed and I started breathing hard.
My buddy next to me put his hand on my knee and said “settle down” with a smile. But two girls in the room acted really offended and grossed out. I was sooooooo embarrassed!!!
Does it bother you when people get turned on in front of you? It doesn’t bother me unless it is a large gay man. Anyone else, it’s cute or funny.
Is attractiveness, gender, or orientation a factor? One of my lesbian friends told me she once went out to dinner with some straight female friends. One of her friends said she likes to whisper things in people’s ear when she hugs them, and my friend blurted out “That would totally turn me on!” Her friends was like “WTF???”.
I’ve never seen anyone get aroused. I imagine it would really creep me out. But hopefully the biologist in me would realize that it is involuntary response. I would just pretend not to notice so as to not make an awkward situation even more so.
I’m surprised white castle hasn’t done more to market their product as an erection hiding device. White castle bags and textbooks are the camouflage of the penis.
My reaction would depend on who was aroused, and why. I’d mostly just find it funny.
Sometimes north is used as a metaphor for up. As your name is essentially Dick North, I’d say you advertised the feature on the packaging. (Also, I had to scroll up because I first parsed you as Peter North).
Don’t you watch movies in the dark, though? You should’ve gone with yaoi, chicks dig it and it’s still part of the “theme.”
You actually started breathing hard? To the point where people in the room noticed you were sexually aroused? You must’ve been a little beyond “popped a boner” stage.
This is something that professional massage practitioners deal with from time to time. (Probably rather often.) During a massage (professional or otherwise), it’s not uncommon for the client (especially if male) to get a hard-on, in which case it tends to be noticeable. (Professional massage in the United States is typically done with the client fully unclothed but covered with a sheet.) Female clients may get aroused too, sometimes, perhaps, but it tends to be less noticeable.
Professional massage practitioners are trained to just ignore it. (Although, to be sure, certain massage “professionals” will massage any stiff body parts until they aren’t stiff any more.)
Horny people aren’t creepy, so much, but they’re a little like drunk people. There is a diminished capacity for reason. Their attention is diverted from anything else. They have a kind of vacancy of affect.
It’s not entirely unlike other forms of very tight focus. Wave a diamond necklace around a room, and you see the same sorts of expressions. A blunt, open, “I want that!” kind of effect.
It isn’t humankind at the worst…but far from the best.
Aren’t you leaving out the part where you hit the guy over the head with a Corona bottle for putting his hand on your leg? And then after that, the women folk got so turned on by your alpha hard on they practically begged you to take them to the back seat of your car while your dog stood guard?
OP, don’t you realize that the only reason anyone noticed you is that you picked up a giant white bag and held it over your lap? And tensing up and breathing hard just from watching something? That just doesn’t fit with any experience I’ve ever had without some physical stimulation involved.
The reactions of the people around you seem to me less “Ew, he’s turned on” and more “Ew, he felt like he had to advertise it.” In that respect, I’d probably be in the same camp.
Am I the only one who thought"
" a White Castle bag?"
EWWWWWWW!!!
How can anybody get sexually aroused if the room stinks of White Castle?
(oh, and a note for those of you who live outside certain unfortunate areas of the US:
White Castle is a regional chain of restaurants that makes a totally unique product—the world’s worst hamburgers. Bite size, boiled in greasy onions. I offer you this information because here at the Dope, we fight not only ignorance; we also stand proud in the fight against diarrhea. )
